ASTANA - Referencing yurts and eagles, suns and seas, 46 architecture and design firms displayed their proposed concepts for Astana's EXPO 2017 pavilions in the Korme Exhibition Centre on August 14. The final design will be selected by a jury by September 1. | The Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture project represents the modernized yurt, powered with solar energy. |
The 46 companies now vying to be the designers of Astana's future energy expo village come from Australia, Austria, Canada, China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Kazakhstan, Norway, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, The Netherlands, Russia, Tunisia, Turkey, the United Kingdom, Ukraine and the United States. Included in that group are some foreign architects who already have designs in Astana, such as Manfredi Nicolleti of Italy, designer of the Kazakhstan Concert Hall; Studio-44 of Russia, designers of the Palace of School Children, and the Sembol Company of Turkey, which is behind the well-known Khan Shatyr. Also among the competitors are architects with experience creating expo grounds, including Stefano Boeri of Italy, designer of the master plan for EXPO 2015 in Milan; NG Galaxy of Germany and Russia, designers of the silver-medal-winning Russian pavilion at EXPO 2008 in Zaragoza and Zaha Hadid of the U.K., designers of the bridge pavilion for EXPO 2008 in Zaragoza.

The jury making the final selection will be advised by a technical council of about 14 individuals headed by economic and social theorist Jeremy Rifkin, president of the TIR Consulting Group and author of “The Third Industrial Revolution.” The technical council also includes international experts in sustainable design and development and renewable energy technology.

Aidar Marat, Senior Architect at the EXPO 2017 Astana National Company and a member of the technical council told The Astana Times, “The theme of our expo is future energy, so we have to analyse projects from a technical point of view. (That) means sustainability, sustainable development and the principles of the third industrial revolution… energy positive, zero emissions… we consider everything.” They also must make sure that the Bureau of International Expositions' (BIE) strict exposition requirements for size, visitor flow and other aspects are adhered to. “And post-expo use is very, very important.”

The expo area must also mesh into existing Astana and prove itself to be a long-term liveable, usable urban area. “Urban planning is very important as [the expo site] is a… mini-sustainable city, basically. So we have to look at the urban planning.” The technical council will submit a shortlist of their recommendations to the jury, which will make the final selection. Marat said that it is possible the jury will request modifications to the selected design or suggest a symbiosis of elements from more than one design.

Director Alejandro Stochetti of the American company Adrian Smith + Gordon Gill Architecture, a likely frontrunner, was on hand to explain elements of his company's design, which he described as “a new yurt, a future yurt.” “We want to create for Astana as a community that has all the strength to be sustainable. The idea is that Astana is a city that can only be here. Every design we approach is very specific to the site, so we take into account the cultural context, we take into account the climate, the connections to the rest of the city; we want to build a community that is enduring. So it's a symbol for Astana but it's also a community,” he said. He said all elements of the buildings had been designed to reduce energy consumption and maximise the collection of solar and wind energy.

After the expo, much of the design will be residential buildings. “A project like this one, like all the ones we do, is done for life… Nothing here is demolished, nothing here is wasted. All the pieces in the design are to last… It's a community, we want to focus (on the fact that) this is a community centre. A community within the expo, which is the key here. So you have an expo, which is good during the expo time, which is short, and then after that it's a community that's going to thrive… We made sure every house in this development has access to sun and is landscaped properly, so it's going to be a very, very nice place to live,” Stochetti said. | One of the competing designs, Zhelgul Tower from Manfredi Nicoletti symbolizes the birth of the new EXPO 2017 city and stands for the use of the wind power. |
Magnus Weightman and Polina Strukova, urban planner and architect, respectively, from Mecanoo, also discussed their concept with the Astana Times. “We were inspired by a medieval settlement that was five kilometres away from the location, which was an earth wall combined with temporary structures. It's a permanent piece of land art, you could say, which encapsulates a grand space where the temporary structures would come,” Weightman said. A solid wall would encase permanent spaces like theatres and concert halls, and an open area would be usable after the expo as a park and an area for festivals. After the expo, the entire area would become a city quarter involved in energy, science and technology.

Weightman said he was also fascinated by the steppe landscape and the role of water in Astana. “We’ve noticed in Astana itself you have this sort of urban grid which is then toyed with by the form of the river and the lakes… you see the natural forms of these lakes. So in the urban plan, you have a man-made grid combined with natural form of nature, in a way.”

Energy for Mecanoo's design would be collected through wind turbines, special walkable solar panels in the areas paths and algae in the water elements. “We’ve been working together with experts from the technical university in Delft… and they did the calculations and think that it's at least energy neutral if not energy productive over a year cycle, which is for sure for us an important goal,” he said. The design is a marriage of Kazakh inspiration and some Dutch elements like bicycle paths, pedestrian-friendly streets and residential clusters based around central courtyards.

Saken Narynov, Kazakh architect and inventor, presented a design of a giant Möbius Strip that also reflects ancient Saka culture. “Sakas, who lived on the territory of Kazakhstan… depicted breech animals. They wanted to say that humans and animals are creatures of this world and they will all end up in the afterlife. And the breech child is the point between life and death,” he said. The pavilions would be inside the huge strip, which after the expo would be turned into an observation wheel with views of the whole city and entertainment facilities inside. “All of this will be powered by sun-collectors and solar panels and from the ground by geothermal heaters,” Narynov said.

Marat commented that most of the designs were quite good, with some stronger on aesthetics, some stronger on sustainability or meeting BIE requirements. “As the president (President of Kazakhstan Nursultan Nazarbayev) mentioned, there could be one symbiosis of several projects.”

Expo concepts were displayed from August 14-16. |

АСТАНА - Ссылки на юрты и орлов , солнца и моря , 46 архитектуры и дизайна фирмы демонстрировали свои предлагаемой концепции для ЭКСПО-2017 в Астане в павильонах выставочного центра Корме 14 августа. Окончательный проект будет выбран жюри, к 1 сентября .

Айдар Марат , старший архитектор на ЭКСПО-2017 Национальная компания Астана и член технического совета сказалАстана Таймс ",тема нашей выставки является энергетическое будущее , поэтому мы должны проанализировать проекты с технической точки зрения. (Это ) означает устойчивость , устойчивое развитие и принципы третьей промышленной революции ... энергия положительным, нулевым уровнем выбросов ... мы считаем, все. " Они также должны убедиться, что Бюро международных выставках ( МБВ ) будут соблюдаться жесткие требования по размеру экспозиции , посетителям потока и другие аспекты.

" " Мы хотим создать для Астаны как сообщество , которое имеет все силы, чтобы быть устойчивым. Идея состоит в том , что Астана является городом, который может быть только здесь .

Так что это символ Астаны , но это такжесообщество ", сказал он. Он сказал, что все элементы здания были разработаны для снижения энергопотребления и максимального сбора солнечной и ветровой энергии .

После выставки, большая часть конструкции будет жилых зданий. "Проект , как этот, как и все те, которые мы делаем, делается для жизни ... Здесь нет ничего снесены , здесь ничего не потрачено впустую . Все части в конструкции к последнему ... Это сообщество , мы хотим сосредоточиться ( на том, что ) это общинного центра. Сообщества в выставке, которая является здесь ключевой . Так у вас естьExpo , и это хорошо во время выставки, которая коротка, а затем после этого , что это сообщество, которое собирается процветать ...

Это постоянный кусок земли искусства , можно сказать , что заключает в себе великое пространство, где временные сооружения придет ", Weightman сказал. Сплошная стена должен был накрыть постоянного пространства , как театры и концертные залы , иоткрытое пространство можно было бы использовать после Экспо как парк и площадка для фестивалей. После Экспо , весь район станет квартале города , участвующих в энергетике, науке и технике.

Weightman сказал, что он был также очарованстепного ландшафта и роли воды в Астане. " Мы заметили, в Астане сама у вас есть такого рода городской сетке , которая затем играл с формой реки и озера ... вы видите естественные формы этих озер. Таким образом, в городской план , у вас есть искусственные сетки в сочетании с естественной формой природы, в пути. "

Энергия для дизайна Mecanoo было бы собираться с помощью ветровых турбин , проходимую специальные солнечные панели в области путей и водорослей в воде элементов. " Мы работали совместно с экспертами из Технического университета в Делфте ... и они сделалирасчеты и думаю, что это по крайней мере нейтральным, если энергия не более продуктивной энергиейгодичного цикла, который наверняка для нас важной цели ", он сказал. Дизайнбрака казахского вдохновения и некоторых элементов, таких как голландский велосипедные дорожки, пешеходными улицами и жилых кластеров основана на центральной дворов.

Сакен Нарынова , казахский архитектор и изобретатель, представил дизайн полосы гигантские Мебиуса , что также отражает древней сакской культуры .

" Все это будет работать на солнечных коллекторов и солнечных батарей и от земли за счет геотермальной обогреватели, " Нарынова сказал.

Марат отметил, что большинство проектов были довольно хорошо, с некоторыми сильными на эстетику , некоторые сильнее, на устойчивость или встречу требованиям МБВ . " Как президент (президент Республики Казахстан Нурсултан Назарбаев ), упомянутые , не может быть одной симбиоз нескольких проектах. "

People aspire to these cities, hoping to find themselves to determine their appointment and change lives for the better. It often happens that the city welcomes guests who soon become relatives.

Kazakhstan has been entrusted with the OSCE’s chairmanship because our country within less than twenty years of independence, has modernised and reached an economic development, it has ambitious foreign policy, all without any social unrest.

Essay On Kazakh Culture

...his speech to national news agency Nur.kz. The president of the republic has a solid view that this exhibition may have a turning point in the history of Kazakhstan. From the speech of the president, it is clear that Kazakh culture is so rich, but, on the other hand, he points out the ignorance of scenic spots in Kazakhstan by local population. His main concern is that if the locals have limited interest to the culture of the republic where they live, it will be challenging to preserve culture in the future, regardless of any event on a global scale. Even in 2017 in Expo date, which is planned to be held in Astana, people throughout the world may not see Kazakh culture, as the architecture of the Left side of the Astana, the venue of Expo, is in a mixture of styles and, there are no places which remind Kazakhstan historical background. The language of communication in Astana is Russian as well, due to geographical location and close border with the Russian Federation. All these aspect prevent tend to worsen local culture. The conclusion to be drawn that language is a powerful tool and a driving force to enhance culture, if both government authorities as well as individuals do nothing, the loss of cultural identity for Kazakhstan is inevitable process....

How Changes in Kazkhstani Society Are Reflected in Music

...ID: 20090932 Course: Introduction to Music Instructor: Shirin Mussayeva Date: July 4 How changes in Kazakhstani society are reflected in music? Music is a mirror of the society. As society changes so does its music. 20 years have passed as Kazakhstan became an independent country. Changed not only the country but its people who became more patriotic, confident and modern. They started talking about those things that had not talked for years, they started singing about those problems they have and things they desire. This was reflected in our music, which is changing year by year. I want to talk about our contemporary music, positive and negative issues, how changes and development of our country and its society influenced music. I do not think that Kazakhstani modern music is at the peak of popularity. However, more artists appeared on the scene, more songs appeared on the television and the radio, and we start listening to it. If earlier we tried to imitate western performers, now we have own opinion, dreams and desires. Our songs have become more special and individual. The reason of this is development of our country. We start living better; we have more opportunities and perceptions. People feel it and try to reflect their sense of patriotism and gratitude in their songs. One of the famous patriotic songs which I like is “Moi Kazakhstan” in which Kazakhstani pop stars like A-Studio, Ivan Breusov, Makpal Isabekova start singing with words: “Здравствуй столица-это...

Using its huge potential in the hydrocarbon industry, Kazakhstan has managed to rise above all other Central Asian states in terms of political and economic importance and has turned its eyes to China as an important and powerful partner for cooperation in the economic, political, and security spheres.

The benefits of such events seem lucrative; the very fact that many countries bid to host these events suggests that the benefits – be they tangible or intangible – more often than not outweigh the costs.

One journalist wrote that illiteracy, poverty, and the "proximity of trouble spots allow various types of 'teachers' to act very freely there."
